MEANWHILE!!!
"So what do you think of that new Hokage?" asked Lee, trying to start some conversation.
"I've seen better." Said Naruto, somewhat bitterly.
"I doubt he'll be as good as Dad." Said Shikataro.
Shikamaru turned and looked at his son that wasn't so cloneish anymore. "What are you still doing here?" he said. "Get out of my sight."
Shikataro shrugged and left the room.
"Shikamaru, he said something nice about you!" said Ino. "That wasn't very nice of you."
"Oh, I love that kid and he knows it." Shikamaru said. "But I sometimes I just don't want him to linger around. He's still living with me. He's eighteen years old and doesn't plan on ever leaving."
"Well, eighteen is still young." Said Hinata.
"All of your kids over the age of eighteen left already." Shikamaru pointed out. "Wasn't Senjou out of the house before he even turned fifteen?"
"Yeah…but we miss him." Ino said. "He's always gone."
"And our kids that left are married too." Tenten reminded Shikamaru.
"What about Inoshi?" Shikamaru said. "He's not married and he's over eighteen. How did you get him out of the house?"
"Well, he just didn't like it very much at home." Ino said. "Most of the time he spent up in his room writing things. Then, out of nowhere, he released a book. And that was a success. He used the money from the book to get himself an apartment far away."
"I read that book." Said Neji.
"You did?" said Sasuke. "I thought you only read Hyuuga books."
"No, I just MOSTLY read Hyuuga books." Neji said.
"So what you're saying is that I have to get Shikataro to write a book?" Shikamaru asked.
"I guess." Said Ino.
"He'd never go for that." Shikamaru sighed. "That would be too troublesome. I know if MY dad told me to write a book, I'd never do it in a million years."
"Shikamaru, if you wrote an autobiography, that would probably be the most interesting thing on the shelves." Said Chouji. "Because not only did you do incredible things in your lifetime but you'd be able to word it really well since you're so smart!"
Shikamaru noticed that Chouji was slowly getting closer. "I could mention the string of incidents that happened two years ago in that autobiography too." Shikamaru said.
"No, you don't have to!" Chouji said, quickly backing away.
"What happened two years ago?" Lee whispered to Ino.
"I'll tell you later." Ino whispered back.
"I have an announcement!" Kiba said suddenly. "I've been officially working at the academy for twenty years now and I'm kind of looking in to retiring."
"But you taught Lil Gai so well!!" Lee said. "The academy NEEDS you!"
"Yeah, let me finish!" Kiba said. "I want you to tell your kids that I had in the academy to hurry up and have kids of their own so I can teach THEM! There's nothing I want more than to teach the kids of the kids I taught so I can say, 'I remember when your FATHER did this!'"
"Kiba, keep in mind that the oldest kids that you taught that are here are Senjou and Shikataro who are only eighteen." Said Sasuke. "And, while I want Senjou to have lots of children, I want him to wait until he's at least in his twenties. I don't know what you do in your family, Shikamaru."
"I'll tell him." Shikamaru shrugged.
"Okay, good." Said Kiba, sitting down.
MEANWHILE!!!
"I don't understand why he's crying!" moped Kobiru as she handed little Sasuke back to Tashoku. "I only picked him up!"
"He's usually so well behaved!" Tashoku said, looking confused as she tried bouncing little Sasuke a bit to make him feel better. Sasuke Jr. waved Sharky-Shark in front of his face for a bit and little Sasuke eventually made a grab for the little shark and started chewing on it.
"Sharky-Shark works every time." Sasuke Jr. said.
"I'm going to be having a kid soon so I have to learn how to do these things!" said Kobiru.
"Do you know if it's going to be a boy or a girl?" Tashoku asked as she handed little Sasuke off to Sasuke Jr.
"I don't want to know!" said Kobiru.
"Well, I can kind of tell that this is a girl." Said Tashoku, putting her hand on her stomach. "Because she feels so different than little Sasuke."
"It's a boy." Said Sasuke Jr.
"Wait…you're pregnant?" said Kobiru.
"Yeah." Said Tashoku. "Oh right! I guess it's hard to tell with this sweatshirt but I am SO fat it is unbearable."
"You're pregnant?" Shika said, running over. "Get outta town!"
"I'm going to announce it at dinner, so don't tell anyone!" Tashoku said.
"Our lips are sealed!" said Cho. "But really, you're not fat at all! You could probably still fit into your jeans!"
"No, I can't." said Tashoku. "I've already gained twenty pounds."
"I'm going to have to stick around this time." Senjou said.
"There is the cutest dress in Baby Gap, Tashoku." Said Shika. "When we go shopping for the party tomorrow, we're going to have to pick it up."
"Shika, what were you doing in Baby Gap?" Cho asked, putting his hands on his hips.
"Cho, listen, they have the cutest stuff there." Said Shika. "If I was a midget, then I would definitely shop there."
"That would be SO uncool, Shika, because then I'd be a midget too since we're identical twins!" said Cho but then he gasped. "Tashoku! What if you're having twins? Like us!"
"Guys, I am eight months pregnant and Tashoku is like…five." Said Kobiru. "Can we talk about my unborn child instead?"
"How about we talk about the kids that are already born?" Sasuke Jr. said.
"Yeah, that reminds me." Said Pansuke. "Lee, your kid is hideous."
"Yeah, I hope our kid doesn't look like that!" Kobiru laughed.
"Way to go you two." Said Lil Lee. "Way to insult a baby. You have to target someone who can't fight back, don't you?"
"I didn't mean it!" said Kobiru. "Hand him over! Let me hold the little button face!"
"No." said Lil Lee. "Normally, I pass him around so I don't have to hold him but I don't want you holding him."
"Why?" said Kobiru. "I need to practice!"
"He doesn't like you." Lil Lee decided.
"You can practice with Sasuke!" said Tashoku.
"No you can't." said Sasuke Jr.
"Can I hold Lil Kikei?!" Lil Gai asked.
"Sure." Said Lil Lee, immediately handing the blemish over.
Shikataro was, meanwhile, looking at the people magazine and reading the articles about him. He had two full pages dedicated to himself and was quite intrigued.
Senjou was being quiet and just looking at the babies and all the people interacting while grinning like a moron. He hadn't seen then for a while so he was just happy to be there.
Inoshi stayed silent for a while and decided to isolate himself in a room that was not occupied by anyone. He opened up the case he brought and took out his laptop and started typing.
MEANWHILE!!!
"Tashoku was so nice to let us look at all her stuff!" said Hiyoko as she touched some stuff on a shelf.
"I think she has all the Sexy Ninjas Unlimited magazines that I never had!" said Moujo as she pulled a box out from underneath the bed. She picked up the magazine that was on the top to see it had a picture of the entire Uchiha family. "No way! She has the Uchiha Edition!"
"Oh, we have one of those." Hana said vaguely.
"This is really old." Said Kajitsu. "Like…two years or something."
"I've been a Senjou fan for almost three years." Said Moujo, lying down on the floor and opening up to the first page. "And an Inoshi fan for a year."
"Eww…an Inoshi fan?" said Hana.
"You're just like that because they're your brothers!" said Kajitsu.
"I'm not denying that my brothers are good looking…" Hana said. "But it's just…Inoshi…"
All the girls, including Jijo, Sanjo and Hiyoko gathered around the magazine. Hichou looked around for a minute and decided that he SO did not belong there anymore so he went downstairs. Hiyoko decided that she was going to follow her older brother so she did so.
"Do we have to look at this one?" sighed Hana.
"Maybe Tashoku will let me keep this…" Moujo said.
Hana rolled her eyes and went over to the box. She pulled out a few magazines that weren't Uchiha-o-centric and started looking through them. After a moment of doing so, she suddenly gasped.
"What?" asked the girls, looking up from the Uchiha Edition.
"It's…" she started. Then she dropped the magazine down on top of the picture of Shika and Cho posing like fools. "Our teacher!"
"No way!" said Kajitsu, reaching for it but Hana snatched it back.
"I found it!" Hana said. "So I get to look at it first!"
"Let's all look at it!" said Moujo.
"This issue must be so old!" said Hana.
"Let me see!" said Kajitsu.
"He's only like…a few years older than us here!" said Hana as she started reading the little blurb in the corner. "He's seventeen!"
"Wow!" said Moujo. "I wish MY teacher was in Sexy Ninjas Unlimited."
"Let me see!" said Kajitsu, snatching the picture away and then swooning over it.
"How about we go and show him?" said Moujo.
"No way!" said Hana and Kajitsu.
"Why not?" asked Moujo.
"Because then he'd take it away." Hana answered.
"Okay, then let's compare." Moujo said, grabbing the Uchiha Edition and turning the page to a picture of Senjou at the age of about sixteen. "Who's hotter? Senjou or your teacher?"
"I may be biased, but I've seen Senjou doing the most UN-sexy things." Said Hana. "Besides, he's my BROTHER. So I'm going to go with Lee."
"Normally, I find Lee more sexy but comparing these two particular pictures…I'm going to have to go with Senjou." Kajitsu said.
"Well, I'm a biased, rabid Senjou fan." Said Moujo with a dreamy sigh.
"It's true." Said Jijo.
"You should see her room." Added Sanjo.
"Guys, shut up." Said Moujo absentmindedly.
"We have an album." Said Hana.
"An album?" Moujo said, her eyes lighting up.
"Dad spent the last week and a half compiling our ten thousand photo albums into one." Hana said, standing up. "Come on, I'll show it to you!"
The girls quickly stampeded down the stairs. They could hear arguments coming from the other room.
"I am NOT five foot nothing!" came Senjou. "I'm five foot eight!"
"Fine, five foot four." Pansuke said.
"You can't just determine my height like that!" Senjou said.
"What are you girls looking at?" came a voice behind them as Lil Lee suddenly appeared. He yoinked the two magazines out of Hana and Moujo's hands.
"No…wait…!" said Hana.
Lil Lee looked at the cover of the Uchiha Edition that was on the top and then turned it over. "An entire edition about your family." He commented. "I'm sure your father just eats that up."
Then he put the one on the bottom on the top. And his face fell.
"Where did you get this?" he said finally.
"Um…Tashoku's room?" Kajitsu said nervously.
"Ahh…" Lil Lee said as he went into the other room where everyone else was but TOOK the magazines with him.
"I told you he'd take them away." Hana whispered to the others.
Lil Lee went into the room and dropped the magazines down on the table.
"Lee, interesting chose of literature." Said Pansuke.
"So you're just going to move from person to person with your insulting spree?" said Sasuke Jr.
"I wasn't reading these." Lil Lee said. "Tashoku, do you have any more of these magazines?"
"Um…" Tashoku said, avoiding eye contact, secretly wishing that she hadn't let the girls fish through her room to keep them distracted.
"I'M in this issue!!" said Lil Gai as he picked up the magazine and opened up to a page. "Look, right there!" He showed everyone a picture of Lil Lee that had Lil Gai way off in the distance in the background. "Not many Rocks can say that they've appeared in Sexy Ninjas Unlimited."
